highly recommended

Very good critique manual

This book is helpful because it deals with both film/screen (conventional radiography) and computed/direct radiography. The author gets straight to the point and does not use alot of unnecessary technical jargon. It covers the basics from where to place your marker on the image to anatomical terms all the way to dividing the body examinations for general x-ray and how to critique your films. It really assists you in becoming a better techologist.

Great way for experienced tech to know if they are on point

I thought my images were acceptable. This book showed me not only were they not as good as they could have been, but what the radiologists are looking for when they are reviewing images. Super good book for tweaking your skills.
